Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The five most common nouns in the English language are time, money, love, death, and work. We speak of saving time, killing time, serving time, keeping time, not having time, tracking time, bedtime, timeouts, buying time, good times, and time travel. #2 Time is the most common noun, but there is no consensus on how to define it.
